a democratic politician. e native of Vir
ginia, but not now resident of that State,
in talking here to day about the reported
majority the republicans got at the recent
election there, said he was afraid the State
would be lost next November unless extra
means were employed to save it, He said
the reasons for his fear were that he thought
the labor party in Virginia cities would vote
against the dem ocrats, and that the repub
lican U. S. Senate would pass several bills
at the coming session of Congress that
would benefit Virginia but which would be
defeated by the democratic House, and that
such action would lose the party votes.
Then, too, he said there is another cause,
which you know as we'll a5 do, but which
cur leaders think it wise to ignore, but
which in probable contingency will lose
mapv more votes. To offset these losses,
he said, you must make large gains from
the negroes. Can you do il?

REV. DR. PARKER, the famous English lee
turer now in this country, says the s;rangest

no more OF here thau a shilling in his coun'

great collapse or great discipline, as the
existing extravaganza can not go on much
longer. There is great deal of truth IN
this. The rich people of this country live
as extravagan,ly as the emperois of Rome
did in the most luxurious days of the Ro'
man empire, and poor men here spend more
money than the rich ones of foreign coun'
